Setting Up The Canopy Step 4: Place Canopy Place the canopy over the extended frame. Ensure that the peak of the canopy is sitting comfortably on the centre apex to avoid unnecessary stress and friction on the material. Step 5: Locate Corners Once the canopy is pulled over the frame, locate the corners of the canopy and hang on the leg in preperation for...
Erecting Your Instant Shelter Step 7: Open The Frame We can now open the frame closer to it’s final width. With your partner, grab the bottom crossbar section as seen in image one (left) and walk backwards from each other as far as you can go. The goal here is to get the red pull pins as close to its locking position at the top of the leg as possible.

Erecting Your Instant Shelter Step 8: Setting Pull Pins Now, while keeping tension on the centre apex (image one), your partner can go to a corner of the shelter. Slightly roll up the canopy material in the corners and push up the cross bar sections as seen in image two.

Erecting Your Instant Shelter Step 9: Raising The Shelter It is best to extend the shelter legs one side at a time. To extend, lift the leg a few inches from the ground and release the pull pin. The inner leg will slide out. The inner leg can now extend and be locked in at the required height.
Setting Your Sidewalls After raising both sides, the frame should be pegged through the footplate holes on soft ground, or weighted on hard standing ground, making sure all legs are straight, and not sticking out. You will notice a 45 degree cut in the corners of the sidewalls velcro strip.

Setting Your Sidewalls The side walls are designed to be a tight fit. This ensures they look neat and professional. If you struggle to join the final side, use the additional 4” joining strip we have provided as seen above. We recommend using this for the first few uses of the shelter, until the material stretches slightly.
Securing The Frame Each foot plate has holes for pegging, it is important that the shelter is pegged or secured no matter what the conditions are. Surf & Turf Weight Options Sandbag Stackable Steel Waterbag If on hard standing ground, some form of weights must be used. Depending on the conditions these can be stacked to more or less weight.
Using Anchor Kit If you purchased an Anchor Kit with your shelter or if you’re using the ropes and spikes supplied by Surf and Turf, connect your rope or strap around the top joint of the leg as seen above and secure. Then, connect the other end around the metal peg.
Tips For Dismantling When taking down the Instant shelter, ensure that all leg joints, corner joints and leg adjusting joints are released. Ensure that the Velcro securing straps are all un-done. If when taking the shelter down, it feels excessively stiff, stop and check all joints, Velcro securing straps and the canopy.
How to take care Do not store your canopy wet! Before storage, make sure that your canopies and sidewalls are dry before putting them back in their respective storage bags. This is to prevent mold damage. Remember to always keep your frame properly anchored, high wind conditions can blow away an unsecured shelter.

Maintaining Your Investment We strongly advise that you remove the canopy from the frame before dismantling your Instant Shelter, and pack it away. Whilst we appreciate that leaving this on the frame will help to save time when packing the frame down, and erecting it again later, the canopy can easily be caught on the framework of the Shelter.
